Maple Raisin Oat Scones: Warning Objects In picture are Yummier than they appear!!!

Ingredients:

  • 1 Cup Rolled oats, not instant silly
  • 1 Cup, gluten free oat flour (pulverize oats in a blender or just purchase oat flour YTD)
  • 1 Tsp Stevia Powder
  • 1/4 tsp salt
  • 1/4 tsp baking soda
  • 1/2 Cup Butter Milk (or sub water if needed)
  • 2 TBSP chilled butter
  • 1 tsp vanilla
  • 1 tsp maple extract
  • 2 TBSP Golden Raisins 

Preheat Oven to 400.
In a mixing bowl, toss the oats, Stevia, Baking soda, and salt together with a whisk.  Cut in the cold butter into small pieces, rub it in until coarse bits form.  Stir in the buttermilk or water and extracts unitl all the flour is absorbed.  Mix in the raisins.  If your mixture is too wet add a bit more oat flour...too dry add some water.

Parchment paper is so nice...if you don't have any you should invest provides quick clean up and you don't have to grease you baking pans.
SO on top of a large piece of parchment placed on your cutting board lightly dusted with oat flour, Kneed the rough dough.  Divide dough in 1/2 and pat each into a circle about 1/4 inch thick.  Cut each circle into 4 wedges...like pizza :)  Transfer onto baking sheet lined with parchment.  Arrange the wedges 1/2 inch apart
Bake 20 to  25 mins ...cool on rack if you have that much patients ...not me I have been craving these for   a while :)
These are REAllly yummy smeared with Almond butter Yum Yum
